A Call to Action to Keep Our State Charter Free
Occupy Wall Street has resonated with people around the world. The young and the old, different religions,cultures and ethnicities, people from different educational backgrounds with completely different financial histories have taken to the streets today in Rome, Tokyo, Madrid, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, London, Dublin, Taiwan, the Philippines and Hong Kong.
If, in one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the United States, there is a child poverty rate of 21%, that is almost one-quarter of our nation’s children, one can imagine that for others the situation would be even worse.
Financial institutions and the hedge fund millionaires have managed to destroy the lives of people around the world and the world, the 99%, are pushing back.
These same people who destroyed our economy and that of other countries now want to privatize our educational system in the state of Washington as they have elsewhere in this country by way of charter schools.
